Evergreen Broadacres

I’m not ready yet!

I first became
involved with the Evergreen Lifestyle retirement group in 2009, a year after its
first village was established at Muizenberg in the Western Cape. And, if
there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the past 10 years, it’s that those who have chosen
to spend their retirement in one of our estates have only done so when they are
entirely ready to make the change.

We understand
that committing your retirement savings to purchasing a Life Right at one of
our villages is a huge decision. We also understand that while you may have
reached a point where staying in your family home has become a burden, and you’re
thinking that a retirement village may be the solution, there may be a few
things still holding you back. Perhaps you’re not certain you’ll be able to
afford the move or, you don’t have the buy-in of your friends and family – some
of your friends may be skeptical about the move, or one of your children has a
negative perception around ‘old age homes’.

Buying
into a retirement village is not simply about buying and selling. It’s also
about learning to let go of your current way of life, leaving your memory-filled
family home behind, putting yourself through the uncertainty of a purchase and
move, and navigating a new beginning. While none of these challenges is easy to
deal with, putting your head in the sand and doing nothing is also not the
answer.

That’s
why, when you’re investigating the benefits of an Evergreen Life Right, we
understand that when you say, “I’m not ready yet,” you’re not saying that you
don’t see the value in what we offer – a strong sense of community, physical
security, financial peace of mind, and continuous care – you’re saying, “ I haven’t
ticked all the boxes that are going to make me feel completely comfortable
about this purchase, just yet”.

If you’re thinking
about buying with us, rest assured that our in-house sales team has walked the journey
with many potential buyers over the past 10 years and is committed to helping
you understand your needs and addressing your concerns so that if you decide to
make an Evergreen Lifestyle Village your home, you do it with complete
confidence. In my experience, many of our residents say they wish they had made
the move sooner!

for Life promise with you.
